What is ‘Equitation Science’?
Just like psychological science is interested in the study of human behaviour, psychology and mental process; equitation science is interested in the study of equine behaviour, psychology, mental process and biomechanics.
Equitation science is interested in: ~ The behavioural mechanisms that provide the foundation for horse and human relationships, ~ The measurement and interpretation of interactions between horses and riders, ~ It describes the FIRST EVER training system totally based on ‘learning theory’ (a well established and verified concept of human behavioural psychology); and ~ Explores the welfare consequences of training and competing with horses under different disciplines and conditions. * Not to be confused with 'Equine Science' which is about the generalised study of horses, equitation science zones in on training and management specifically.
